I’m Going To Italy

Posted by Jason on May 27th, 2010 — in Fair Play

I’ve been invited to Lucca Games Show 2010! The deal is a collaboration between BPG’s Italian publisher, Janus Design and Lucca Comics & Games, which is the biggest comics and games gathering in Italy. This coincides with the premiere of the Italian edition of Fiasco, which I will be there to support. Joshua A.C. Newman will also be on hand, and we’ll offer a panel on game design as well. This all happens at the end of October and will coincide with the release of Fiasco’s Italian edition. I am so excited about returning to Italy, hanging out with my Italian friends and making new ones, unveiling Fiasco Italiano, and otherwise rocking out!

…for making me indulge in a grand retrospective. Click for gigantor version:

I saw his beautiful chart and had to make my own, which is both uglier and better. It was fun to think about all the weird stuff I played, and the big sad gap that represents higher education and life on the North American frontier.

One thing that’s interesting is that you can watch whole genres slide into suckage – first fantasy, then science fiction, then modern stuff. As it loses its shine, I switch to new systems, which are invariably less awesome.

BULLY
